Chapter 865: Showdown with the Serpent

The enormous body of the Dalamadur blocked out the sun, casting a shadow over the group, its immense presence weighing down on everyone. Its emerald-green, vertical pupils gleamed with malice, and it let out a deafening roar.

"Hand over that damn Pixiu!"

Taejin Yun and his companions immediately recognized the Dalamadur as the powerful demonic beast of Dalamadur Canyon.

Rumors had it that the Dalamadur lineage had a long-standing enmity with Pixius, though the exact reason was unclear. But why did this Dalamadur think Pixiu was with them?

"Your Excellency, you must be mistaken. Pixiu is not with us. We are also searching for it," Taejin Yun explained. He had no desire to make an enemy of the Dalamadur on its own turf.

"Refuse, and die!" The Dalamadur’s thunderous voice reverberated in their ears, carrying a tyrannical tone.

The expressions of everyone in the group changed as they felt the palpable killing intent radiating from the Dalamadur.

"If you kill us, you will be making enemies of the major sects of Mystic Void Continent. Think carefully before you act," Yeonseon Yang declared proudly, showing no sign of weakness despite Dalamadur’s superior strength.

"Who are you?" The Dalamadur’s green eyes glowed ominously, its killing intent undiminished.

"Yeonseon Yang of the Eternal One Sect."

"Hayeon Ren of the Devine Maiden Sect."

"Hyunwoo Chen of the Artifact Refining Valley."

Seojin Feng: "..."

Seojin Feng remained silent because the reputation of Beast Tamer Valley among demonic beasts was far from good.

It wasn’t just on Mystic Void Continent—many of demonic beasts on the devil battlefield also had heard of them, and speaking up now might only enrage this demonic beast further.

Taejin Yun also kept quiet. His Harmonywood City had some recognition on Mystic Void Continent, but in front of demonic beasts, it was nothing.

The names of the three major sects were indeed well-known to Dalamadur. He was contemplating whether to kill them all, but unless he could leave no survivors, it would not bode well for him if the news reached the three sects.

"Hmph, are you trying to threaten me?" Dalamadur snorted, a wisp of black smoke escaping his nostrils.

"We’re all searching for the Pixiu. If we start killing each other, wouldn’t that just play into the enemy’s hands?" Yeonseon Yang’s expression was calm and composed, as if he were an equal to Dalamadur in strength.

Dalamadur retorted angrily, "You say you’re searching for the Pixiu, but I clearly sensed its aura disappearing in your direction."

"That’s impossible." Taejin Yun reflexively denied it. The Pixiu they were tracking was ahead and to their right. Even if Dalamadur had detected its aura, it couldn’t be in front of them.

"And who are you to claim that’s impossible?" Dalamadur said furiously, as if this human dared to call him a liar.

"The Pixiu fell into my trap; I can track its location," Taejin Yun, sensing Dalamadur’s murderous intent, quickly revealed his trump card.

Dalamadur’s pupils dilated instantly. His massive serpent body vanished, and in the blink of an eye, a man dressed in green appeared before Taejin Yun, gripping his throat. "Is that so? Pixiu has a Breath Pearl—how could you possibly track it?"

This was the difference in power!

Taejin Yun’s eyes reddened. His desire for power peaked. If he were as strong as Dalamadur, how could he endure such humiliation?

"Of course, it’s true. Only I can do it," Taejin Yun said, suppressing his urge to kill Dalamadur as he coughed violently.

The others knew he relied on the Gu King, but none of them exposed his lie.

After all, if Dalamadur got his hands on the Gu King, he might kill them all to tie up loose ends. No one was foolish enough to risk their own life.

"You’d better be telling the truth." Dalamadur coldly released him.

Taejin Yun rubbed his neck which was now bruised, his expression flickering. "Naturally, I wouldn’t dare lie about something like this."

"Lead the way!" Dalamadur commanded arrogantly.

Taejin Yun endured the humiliation. When he became powerful, Dalamadur would be the first one he killed.

Because Dalamadur was present, Taejin Yun didn’t bring out the Gu King again.

Instead, he relied on his connection to it to guide them in a new direction.

Pixiu would sometimes change direction, forcing them to adjust frequently. Otherwise, they might end up farther and farther from their target.

After swallowing the Breath Pearl once again, Gor’kan rushed to meet up with Zhar’khaen and finally saw both Zhar’khaen and Vryss’laar at the exit of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

"Zhar’khaen..." Gor’kan rushed forward, spotting a human blocking the way in front of his companions. His eyes flashed with anger, and without a word, he attacked.

"Wait!" Huoyan Huasheng shouted.

But Gor’kan wouldn’t listen to a human. Fortunately, Zhar’khaen stopped him just in time.

"Gor’kan, calm down. These humans don’t seem to have any intent to harm us."

"Humans are all hypocrites," Gor’kan said coldly.

"I didn’t say that—it was Vryss’laar who said it," Zhar’khaen quickly shifted the blame to Vryss’laar, who then explained, "I was caught by those humans, but they let me go and even blocked the others for a moment. If not for them, I would’ve been captured by now."

"Really?" Gor’kan couldn’t believe that humans could be so kind, especially after knowing they were dealing with Pixiu, but Vryss’laar never lied.

"It’s true."

Gor’kan fell silent, struggling to believe that humans had actually helped them.

"I suggest you leave quickly," Huoyan Huasheng suddenly said with a serious expression, looking towards the direction of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain behind them. "A powerful demonic beast is coming."

"It’s Dalamadur. You should leave too. He’s violent by nature and might turn against you," Gor’kan said coldly. After all, the Pixiu were not ungrateful demonic beasts.

"We should go as well. It’s not safe to stay here," Huoyan Huasheng nodded and then turned to speak to City Lord Wang.

City Lord Wang sighed. He had come for the Pixiu, but now it seemed there was no hope. However, even if he did manage to obtain the Pixiu, Skyward City might not be able to keep it anyway.
